Project Overview

This major Catholic church renovation project was undertaken by YouFine Art Sculpture for St. Joseph’s Church in Bukit Timah, Singapore. The project began in December 2017, and all sculptures and marble products were installed by May 2018.

The renovation involved crafting classic Catholic marble statues, including:

• A set of Jesus and two angel statues
• Fatima and the three children statues
• The Virgin Mary and Joseph statues
• Altar and Pulpit
• 14 Stations of the Cross marble reliefs

Additionally, two marble pulpits, two marble altars, and a marble baptistery were custom-made. All these pieces were crafted from high-quality Grade-A Hunan white marble, adhering strictly to the client’s specifications.

Detailed Production Process

Clay Model Creation

To ensure accuracy and vividness, each sculpture was first crafted as a 1:1 clay model. YouFine’s professional clay mold artists used reference images and client feedback to create lifelike and precise molds. The clay models were refined and modified based on suggestions from the church representatives and priests until all details were approved.

For example, the clay molds for the Corpus statues were meticulously adjusted according to client requirements, ensuring every detail was faithfully reproduced.

Hand-Carving Process

Given the high standards of the clients, all sculptures were carved from premium Hunan white marble, also known as Chinese Carrara. This material is ideal for its purity, free from impurities and gray patterns, ensuring delicate and vivid carvings.

The carving was led by YouFine’s top artist, Yuan, and his team. Yuan, a devout Catholic, brought both skill and reverence to the project, ensuring the religious figures were crafted with deep understanding and artistry.

Finished Marble Statues and Reliefs

The completed sculptures included marble statues of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, the crucified Christ, Fatima and the three children, and religious angels.

The 14 Stations of the Cross marble reliefs were hand-carved based on drawings provided by the client, maintaining accuracy and detail.

For the marble altars, pulpits, and baptistery, the artists meticulously followed size requirements, ensuring deviations were within 5 mm. Custom logos and intricate details on these pieces were also hand-carved.

Client Inspections and Feedback

Upon completion, the church representatives visited YouFine’s factory to inspect the sculptures. They were impressed by the craftsmanship, particularly the Virgin Mary statue, which received high praise.

After the goods were shipped and installed, the church held an unveiling ceremony to celebrate the renovation.

Factory Director’s Visit to Singapore

Following the project, YouFine’s factory director, Dora, visited St. Joseph’s Church in Singapore at the client’s invitation. She inspected the installed sculptures and was warmly hosted by the church team, who introduced her to local delicacies, including durian.
